Intro: G

GI've (320003@1)been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   D (xx0232@1)                 GI've (320003@1)been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   C (x32010@1)                 GI've (320003@1)been high and low, faces of these stone walls
                     D (xx0232@1)                         GDon't (320003@1)know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

GHer (320003@1)skin is dark and softer than a baby's
                  D (xx0232@1)                      GWhen (320003@1)she sings to me her voice is sweet as candy
                  C (x32010@1)                     GHer (320003@1)lips are rose red, as sweet as cheery wine
                       D (xx0232@1)                            GHer (320003@1)eyes are green and blue, they can't make up their mind

G (320003@1)                     
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                  D (xx0232@1)                  GI've (320003@1)been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   C (x32010@1)                 GI've (320003@1)been high and low, faces of these stone walls
                     D (xx0232@1)                         GDon't (320003@1)know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

G (320003@1)                         
Went down to the station, I thought that I would find you
                           D (xx0232@1)                        GWith (320003@1)your suit case on the ground, I knew I was right behind you, yeah
                   C (x32010@1)                          GAs (320003@1)the train doors closed I saw you through the window
                    D (xx0232@1)                       GYou (320003@1)watched me as I waved; the train took you away

G (320003@1)                           
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                  D (xx0232@1)                  GI've (320003@1)been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   C (x32010@1)                 GI've (320003@1)been high and low, faces of these stone walls
                     D (xx0232@1)                         GDon't (320003@1)know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

I know that she's gone

I saw that building burned down, when I got to your front lawn
I thought that you'd be here, yeah, but you'd already gone
I went down to the river, you hid under the water
And then you held your breath, yeah, and then you disappeared

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes, I don't know where she goes
